Abstract

The intention to leave a job has been shown to be the best predictor of turnover, but rarely explains more than 20% of this behavior. This article explores how centrality in social networks moderates the relationship between turnover intentions and turnover behavior, and provides insight into why some employees translate turnover intentions into turnover behavior, while others do not.
